Today's testing and measurement website
hotspot is Lagos. Often assumed to be the capital of Nigeria
(actually, Abuja is), Lagos is a port city with a rapidly growing
population in excess of 8 million people.
Originally built on a series
of islands separated by creeks within Lagos lagoon, the modern city is
protected from the Atlantic by sand spits extending over 100km along the
coast.
Founded by Portuguese colonists, Lagos is Portuguese
for 'lakes', which could be the origin of its name, although there is
also a Lagos in Portugal.
